Usually, getting used to something means that a situation seems unpleasant at first, but you will adjust and it won't bother you eventually. "The weather here is really hot, but you get used to it."

So, when you find yourself in a very nice, comfortable situation, saying, "I could get used to this," is a little joke. It's a way of acknowledging that the situation is very nice without stating the obvious.

Ohh! This is the first comment I’ve read that makes it make sense (I think.) so basically it’s sarcasm? Or being ironic

Right. It's an understatement. It's like saying, "Not bad," when something extremely awesome happens.
